RAD'S KIDS

RADSKIDS is a group of indianapolis cycleist who ride bikes for fun nothing super serious but at the same time bikes are a huge part of their lives. everyone involed rides nearly everyday either for work or entertainment. RADSKIDS started out as 3 friends rididn track bikes in downtown indy and being the few first kids riding downtown we started soing alleycats sbc nobody else was doing them so myself (shawn) and a since retired radskid founder(haha) planned an alleycat we flyered for a week in advance putting flyers everywhere all over campus and downtown at every bike rack we could find.. race day came and we had a total of 7 riders including a now good friend Burd Phillips and a handful of guys who would later become good friends. the winner of indy's first ever alleycat was a very unassuming Mike Runge. honestly when i first saw him i giggled to myslelf over his clipless shoes on a schwinn conversion and a tiiiiny gear. but he proved to be extremely fast! later i found out he was an ex chicago messenger! haha! shit i felt like an ass. i wish he hungout more today. so if you see a spokecard made of marvel comics they were at the first ever indy alleycat. radskids is full of great friendships, fast riders and impressive trick riders.
